Sammy Sosa Denies Skin Bleaching
Baseball star Sammy Sosa denied bleaching his skin after he was photographed at the Latin Grammys last week with a much more lighter complexion in his face. Many people didn’t even recognize him because he looked so different.
A close friend of Sosa’s came forward to explain his new look. Former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis tells the Chicago Tribune,
“He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson.
He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double.
He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, ‘If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.’
People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can’t believe it is such a big deal.”
Well, one can’t help but thinking he bleached his skin to look that way. It does look like he did the same thing as Michael Jackson - I wouldn’t have recognized him! Oh well, if he’s happy with it - more power to him.

The flash of the cameras probably did not help.

For the record, Michael Jackson didn’t bleach his skin, either. His complexion was the result of a disease called vitiligo and makeup.
Let’s be honest. Sammy Sosa is a Dominican man, and in Dominican culture, dark skin is viewed as ugly and negative. That man bleached his skin, and is now going to market the product he used to further lower the self esteem of dark skinned women (and men, apparently). Skin bleaching is NOT okay. F*ck Sammy Sosa.
